Abstract

A microbial resistant water purification and collection system (10) includes a reverse osmosis filter assembly (19) having a filter inlet in selective fluid communication with a system inlet (11) and a filter outlet (13) in fluid communication with a water storage container (12) for storing filtrate. At least a portion of the storage container is located at an elevation above the filter membrane such that filling of the storage container creates a head pressure in the storage container relative to the filter membrane to enable a backflow of filtrate therethrough. A mechanical shut-off valve (27) is interposed the system inlet (11) and the filter inlet to block fluid communication therebetween upon reaching a minimum head pressure in the storage container relative to the filter membrane.
